So, how does this solar wind act? It is basically a constant stream with varying intensity depending on the solar cycle; it can travel at a speed of 400 km/sec and can take around two to four days to reach Earth. The plasma, which is a key component, is made up of positively charged atoms and electrons that float around one another.

  • Intro to Light Fixtures
    Intro to Light Fixtures IN THE BEGINNING PRIMITIVE LAMPS - (c 13,000 BC to 3,000 BC) Prehistoric man, used primitive lamps to illuminate his cave. These lamps, made from naturally occurring materials, such as rocks, shells, horns and stones, were filled with grease and had a fiber wick. Lamps typically used animal or vegetable fats as fuel. In the ancient civilizations of Babylonian and Egypt, light was a luxury. The Arabian Nights were far from the brilliance of today. The palaces of the wealthy were lighted only by flickering flames of simple oil lamps. These were usually in the form of small open bowls with a lip or spout to hold the wick. Animal fats, fish oils or vegetable oils (palm and olive) furnished the fuels. Early Developments Early Developments Rush lights: Candles: Tall, grass-like plant dipped in fat Most expensive candles made of beeswax Most common in churches and homes of nobility Snuffers cut the wick while maintaining the flame Early Developments Early Developments New Developments There was a need to improve the light several ways: 1. The need for a constant flame, which could me left unattended for a longer period of time 2. Decrease heat and smoke for interior use 3. To increase the light output 4. An easier way to replenish the source….thus, the development of gas and electricity 5. Produce light with little waste or conserve energy Page 1 Intro to Light Fixtures Industrial Revolution - Europe Gas lamps developed: London well known for gas lamps Argand Lamp Eiffel Tower (1889) originally used gas lamps The Argand burner, which was introduced in 1784 by the Swiss inventor Argand, was a major improvement in brightness compared to traditional open-flame oil lamps.

By the end of the eighteenth century, candles and traditional oil lamps—which had been in use since antiquity—began to be superseded by a new class of oil-burning lamps that, thanks to a series of improvements, provided considerably more light than any previous form of indoor lighting. Plant oils (Europe) or whale oil (United States) fueled these lamps until, by the middle of the nineteenth century, they were gradually replaced by a petroleum derivative called kerosene. Though kerosene lamps remained popular until well into the twentieth century (and in some places until today), by the late nineteenth century they began to be supplanted by gas and electrical lights.

American Lucifers: Makers and Masters of the Means of Light, 1750-1900 Abstract This dissertation examines the social history of Atlantic and American free and unfree labor by focusing on the production and consumption of the means of light from the colonial period to the end of the nineteenth century. Drawing from archives across the country, I reconstruct the ground-level experiences and struggles of the living (and dying) bringers of lights—those American lucifers—and the worlds they made in the process. I begin by arguing that colonial American deep-sea whaling voyages triggered an Atlantic street lighting revolution radiating from London, while a New England run candles-for-slave(ry) trade helped illuminate and circulate processes caught up in colonial transatlantic sugar slavery.

  • Jo Macfarlane Workshop Refresher
    Candle School Refresher Jo Macfarlane Candle School Workshop Refresher Contents Getting started History of candle making Types of wax Wicks Scenting Thanks Bibliography Getting Started Here is a brief reminder of all the hands on 'making aspects' of the Jo Macfarlane Candle School workshop. 1. You chose your fragrance (definitely the hardest part) 2. Put your wick centred in your vessel using wax glue. If you are using a larger vessel you will need to work out how many wicks you will need. Use the bbq skewers to keep in place. You can buy proper wick supports if you wish. 3 Fill your pan with around 1/3 of water and put on a low heat You don't want too much water so your jug is bobbing around or splashing water into the wax. 4 Measure out your wax by filling the vessel twice, weigh. Remember to 'zero' the scales so you are just weighing the wax. Pop glass jug with wax in it into the pan. I use glass or metal jugs, they conduct the heat better than a plastic jug. 5 Work out 8% of the fragrance, this is industry standard but it does vary according to personal taste, it can go 5-10% but each scent varies too and also if it is a concentrated scent i use 6% but it all comes back to testing and testing again. 5 continued - 100g wax multiplied by 8% = 8g take the 8g which will be your fragrance away from the 100g of the wax =92g So the 92g will be your wax weight & 8g will be your fragrance weight making a 100g candle.
